Fox News
Shawn Mendes has been accused of trying to profit off the wildfire smoke in New York City after using a recent photo of the skyline as promotional material for his latest song.
New York City has been hit with an orange haze as more than 100 wildfires burned in Quebec on Tuesday. The city is experiencing the worst air quality in recorded history due to the Canadian wildfires, per FOX Weather’s analysis of EPA historical data.
"Stared writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate New York & finished it only a few hours ago...felt important to me to share with you guys in real time." A post shared by Shawn Mendes (@shawnmendes)
"Also donating to Canadian Red Cross, head to the link in my bio to learn more or donate if you can," Mendes added.
